29 April 2026 St Louis: The Zoo Animals Aglow a Nighttime Lantern Festival

 


The nighttime Spring Lantern Festival was a very big event.  The entire zoo was festooned with big illuminated lantern. They were arranged in different themes: birds, flowers, butterflies and dragons just to mention a few.  We were joined by David Abbots daughter Amanda, her husband and two kids.  The 10 of us had a great time at the Zoo
